More output.
Same machines.
4–12 weeks.
Visual Factories measures the real OEE of every machine, finds the losses that matter, and turns them into tasks people actually do — the Floor-to-Profit Method. 20% OEE improvement in 4–12 weeks — verified on production data.
Almost no plant knows its real OEE.
And the ones that do don't know what to do with it.
OEE is the one number that tells you how much of your paid-for capacity you actually turn into good parts. In most plants it is built from end-of-shift reports and memory — and even where it is measured, the findings die in meetings.
OEE from paper and memory
Operators write down downtime after the fact. Averages hide the losses. By the time the number is on a slide, the shift — and the output — is gone.
The Pareto is wrong
The biggest loss is rarely the longest stop. Dozens of short stoppages a day add up to hours — invisible to anyone counting minutes per event.
Findings never become actions
A finding needs an owner, a task and a follow-up. Meetings, spreadsheets and good intentions lose all three.
Real OEE on every machine — and the reason behind every loss.
From the day the machines are connected, with no production data typed in by hand.
Availability, performance, quality — per machine, per shift
Uptime, downtime and throughput straight from the machine's signals. Live targets on the shop-floor screen; the same number in the plant, in the office and on the phone.
The top offenders, with the reason and the fix
Operators add reasons in one tap; the AI agent ranks losses by what they cost — including the micro-stops the Pareto misses — and recommends the action.
Tasks assigned, tracked and closed
One click turns a finding into a task with an owner and a due date. MTBF and MTTR by machine, alerts on the phone, daily PDF report to management.
The losses are already in your plant. We make them visible — and give each one an owner.
Every plant loses output to the same six things. Visual Factories measures each one on each machine, so the improvement plan starts from facts, not opinions.
- ABreakdowns — unplanned stops, with MTBF and MTTR per machine
- ASetups & changeovers — measured, compared, shortened
- PMicro-stops — by frequency, not duration: the hidden loss
- PReduced speed — actual vs standard cycle time, part by part
- QScrap & rework — where and when defects are made
- QStart-up losses — after every setup, shift and break
Five stages from first signal to 20% more OEE.
Visual Factories' operating discipline for turning machine data into profit. The system does the work; people follow the loop — and the effort it asks of them grows only as the results do.

Measurement becoming improvement.
Live from the VF platform: the AI agent finds the reason behind a loss, recommends the action and creates the task — assigned to the right person and tracked through to done. No extra meetings, no spreadsheets, no lost follow-ups.

The system measures, analyzes and assigns. The only thing it cannot do is decide that improvement is a priority. Give the loop one owner with authority, and the results follow.
The Tier-1 automotive case study
One plant, eight months, the same machines and people: +23% output per day, one shift fewer, −63% overtime, OEE from 59% to 75%, −68% defect parts per million. Written for plant managers and operations executives.
